The Executive Inn
It was a great stay close enough to Broadmeadow race course for day out. Comfortable and quiet stay with food and facilities at your doorstep, very convenient place to stay for out-of-towners.

Honeysuckle Executive Apartments
Very comfortable, well thought out and equiped. View is not good but the hotel is well located. Parking and coffee pods should be included in the cost. I dislike paying for extras.
